If you really need dynamic programming on your back-end server use Twisted. Twisted.
I fail to see how Twisted is a better choice than Node , but I agree on Node.js(and NPM) immaturity.
All async frameworks need async libraries. With Node async is the default.You cant use any python sync io lib with Twisted for instance. Or it defeats its purpose.
I dont think Javascript is an issue especially with ES6 coming.
But like Twisted , NodeJS is not for everything ,that's the main issue here,with people trying to be fullstack javascript, and claiming they will replace CMS X or MVC framework Y with NodeJS.
- calroc 13y agoTwisted is (would have been) a better choice because it is (was) already done. (And done really really well.) To me it feels like people are busily (and happily) rewriting a lot of stuff in JS that might just be written better in some other language (Go) or have already been written (Erlang) I actually like JS (Thank you Crockford) but it was startling to see it show up on the server side, and downright alarming to see so many people go apeshit over it.)
